  • Publication number: 20160170966
    Abstract: The invention is to system and methods for automatically identifying the language(s) contained in text. The system comprises two language classifiers, one that classifies the text based on the latters present, and a second classifier that classifies the text based on the words present. Each classifier produces a list of languages and a weight for each language. Each classifier also computes an overall confidence applied to the classifier as a whole. The results of the classifiers are combined together incorporating the classifier confidence and language weights. The combined results produce a list of languages and weights and an overall confidence.

  • Patent number: 8793279
    Abstract: One or more databases may be created through an array of onomastic convolutions performed on lists of names. The creation of one or more databases may result in an array correlating individual onomastic elements and normalized probabilities that the onomastic elements belong to various categorizations. A software program preferably determines all possible onomastic elements within a selected name that may be useful in determining a selected name's categorization. The software program preferably takes the onomastic elements from the selected name and compares the onomastic elements to the one or more databases. The software program preferably executes the one or more algorithms and selects categorizations with the highest probability of matching the onomastic elements. The results of the matching process preferably are displayed to the user in one or more formats depending upon the user's preferences.

  • Publication number: 20120268466
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for determining the minimum degree of separation between two banks using graphical methods. In this method, a graphical representation of the banking network is created where the vertices on the graphs represent banks and the graph edges represent correspondent relationships between banks. Using this graph, the degree of separation of any two banks may be computed as the minimum number of edges in any path linking the two banks.

  • Publication number: 20120244945
    Abstract: We present a system and method for incorporating geolocation information into an online game to enhance the enjoyment of the online game. The geolocation of a player is communicated to the online game servers which modify the gaming environment of the player based on the player's current geolocation. If the player changes geolocation, the online game may modify the player's gaming experience as the player's geolocation changes.

  • Publication number: 20120084227
    Abstract: A system and method for creating and maintaining a correspondent banking relationship mapping including current illicit designations. The system enables identification of a bank's correspondent relationships and the relationships of their correspondents. Through the system and method users can identify which banks have illicit relationships prior to engaging with banks or can be notified if the status of any banks which they have an existing relationships changes because a correspondent bank has entered into a correspondent relationship with an illicit banking entity.

  • Publication number: 20080070658
    Abstract: The invention disclosed herein relates to methods, systems, programs and devices for monitoring a specific player's pattern of playing a game. These methods, systems, programs and devices include tracking an individual person's playing cards and/or poker chips using of a detectable tracking device implanted within or upon the playing cards and chips. The information detected from the playing cards and/or chips is then linked to a specific player via the player's use of his comp card. In some embodiments, the methods, systems, programs and devices can also be used to foil forms of cheating such as collusion. Detectors that detect the tracking device may be placed anywhere in the gaming facilities, including but not limited to, under, upon, above, within, adjacent to the gambling table, casino floor, casino entrances and exits, and any other locations within the gaming facilities. Indeed, the tracking device can even be added to employees as clothing, jewelry, etc.
